Dear List,

I have a question about this statement:

>- if you list a home through a
realtor, you MAY NOT discriminate in any way against the buyer. That =
means
if you don't like someone who wants to be a part of the group, you have =
no
choice whether to let them in or not. You must sell to anyone who meets =
your
asking price. <

How can you know, in general, that you don't want a particular person in =
your community?  Since living at Trillium-Hollow in Portland, OR for =
almost a year, I've been surprised to find that: a few people that I =
initially liked are causing problems, others who I was indifferent to =
are either firm friends or atleast reasonable community members.  So =
I've gotten the feeling that I shouldn't be too quick to trust my =
judgment in this area.  (BTW I've been a counselor for 20 years so =
supposedly am good at understanding people).

Another question: have there been problems with particular people in =
cohousing that go beyond the deeply annoying into actual danger?  If =
yes, how do we avoid this? =20

Victoria
